Cybersecurity is National Security

Cybersecurity is no longer a separate domain – it’s integrated into everything we do to keep the United States safe from foreign adversaries. As Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others conduct cyberattacks on national security systems and the Defense Industrial Base, the National Security Agency is on the job, detecting attacks, defending networks, and distributing declassified intelligence to help private industry partners. NSA’s Director of Cybersecurity, Dave Luber, joins No Such Podcast to shine the light on how NSA cybersecurity contributes to national security. Learn from Marine Corps LtGen Jerry Carter about the value of having close civilian-military collaboration to keep our armed forces safe and our policymakers informed. From secure AI to #StopRansomware to PRC hacking and beyond, NSA’s experts work every day on cybersecurity challenges.
